a RANCRER,s ROMANCE.
Carrying His Dead Babe in His
Aims Seyenty-flye Miles.

cat Rawlins, Wyoming, few weeks
ago" said commercial traveller to a
Chicago Hcrald man, II saw one of the
saddest incidents i has ever been my
misfortune TO witness. A rancher rode
into town an horseback holding in his
arms q dead baby--a sweet little thing
with faxen hair, which curled all over
its head, and soft blue eyes which had
not been closed even in death. Sc.
twenty-five miles across the country that
rancher had carried the dead babe in
his arms. I talked with him and heard
his story. Il was like this:
"a year or more ago he had begun q
correspondence with q young woman
in Chicago, getting her address from
matrimonial paper. The result was an
exchange Of photographs, and finally
marriage. The girl went to live with
him on his ranch, but the lonely life
there did not suit the city girl, and few
weeks after the birth Of her babe she
ran away to Chicago, leaving husband
and child behind her. There was no
woman on the ranch, and the rough
father did the best he could to rear
the child. i have no doubt that he
was tender and attentive--in fact, he
said he neglected his stock and did
nothing else but care for the child
but robbed Of its mothers care the
little one sickened and died.
My life seemed to go out with that
ar little one. said the rancher, in his
rough way, an when she died Icried like
awoman. Then my heart rose in anger
against the mother, and i felt that ]
could kill her. 1t seemed TO me that
ar babe would be alive and sniIlin' an
cooin, to-day if her mother had not de-
serted her. Then, says to myself I'll
be reyenged. And SO i wrapped the
poor little one in blanket, jumped on
my horse and came here. I'm goin' to
send the mother a little present, O
peace-offerin' from her deserted hus-
band. I'm goin' TO send her the body
of her little 'un.'
"He actually procured little coffin
and laid the babe in it, after kissing the
white face again and again cutting q
few locks Of the golden hair from the
little round head. There were no tears
in his eyes-he seemed to be past that
but as he turned away from the rail-
way station, where he had shipped the
body to an address to Chicago which I
shall not give, he appeared to me to be
the most brokel-hearted man I'd ever
seen. -s
'sIn five minutes he came running
back, seized the little box and exclaim-
ed:
''No, mol I can't do it. Give me my
lttle'un. Keep the money, but give my
little girl.
'sBefore the station agent could say q
word the man had put the box on his
shoulder and run away. Five minutes
later We saw him ON his horse, the box
in his arms, galloping back to his
ranch"

IT may be that the future historian will
describe the present political period as the
era OF the renaissance OF those doctrines
OF which Jefferson was the original pro-
FOUNDER, and Of which Calhoun was the
most radical advocate. The old ship Of
State has certainly put about from
the rocky leeshorc Of Capitalization and is
hugging more closely the lines laid down
by the Sage OF Monticello. The decision
of the Supreme Court yesterdayin the Kan
sas prohibition cases was startling in itssig-
nifcance. II is to be remembered that
tho decision was unanimous, and that,
with single exception, Justice Field, the
Bench is made up Of men distinguished as
Republicans prior TO their assumption OF
the ermine. And yet the decision
read by Justice Harlan, himself for
many years the leader of the Re
publican party in Kentucky, was an
cnunciation Of Democratic principles ~
radical as was ever uttered by n Demo
cratic extremist. Was il not because the
Supreme Court once cnunclalod a similar
doctrine that distinguished chief
justice was declared infamous by the
Abolitionists Of another day. What
South Carolina fre-cater ever went farther
than the Supreme Court in this prohi-
bition case in unfolding the right Of the
State 10 administer its own affairs accord
ing TO the will OF the majority of its inhab-
itants. Verify, brethren, Democracy is
triumphing, and the ghost Of Thomas JEFF
fensOn still walks abroad.
